The 12 beds at Ballina District Hospital that were threatened with closure will now remain open after the HSE released the funds to ensure their continued operation.
“I’m pleased to announce that the 12 beds that were in danger will not be closing,” Fine Gael Dep Michelle Mulherin said yesterday. “It’s good to see that a common sense solution was found between the HSE, the unions and the staff involved in the issue and the HSE have found the funds needed to maintain that the remain open. I’d like to thank everyone who was involved in the whole process of ensuring this happened. A lot of hard work was done by a lot of people on this issue.”
